This report uses information from the Wisconsin Uniform Crime Reporting program as the basis for an analysis of alcohol-related arrests in the State between 1983 and 1987.
Abstract
In the past 5 years, an estimated 312,818 alcohol-related arrests have occurred in Wisconsin. Alcohol-related arrests have risen steadily over the past 5 years, amounting to 23 percent to 25 percent of all arrests. Most arrests for driving under the influence were adult arrests. In contrast, arrests for liquor law violations were more evenly distributed among adults and juveniles. The data show that either alcohol-related incidents, enforcement activities, or both have increased over the past 5 years. Figures and graphs.
